Story 1: “That Night in Prague”

Story 1, Interlude 1 Summary: “The Morning After”

While 18-year-old Avery Grambs and her 19-year-old lover Jameson Hawthorne are traveling in Prague, Jameson disappears for 14 hours. Avery’s head of security, Oren, suggests looking for him, but Avery insists they shouldn’t worry. However, she wishes she’d anticipated this problem. She and Jameson aren’t always safe, because Avery is the Hawthorne heir and Jameson is the grandson of late billionaire Tobias Hawthorne. She sits in the foyer of the Royal Suite and reflects on the hotel’s history. Tobias built it himself, incorporating puzzles and maps into its design. Finally, Jameson appears, covered in blood.

Story 1, Chapter 1 Summary

Three days earlier, Avery is flying to Prague on her private jet because Jameson invited her to visit. She’s glad she gets to travel the world, as it was her mom Hannah Rooney’s unfulfilled dream before her death. Avery is still adjusting to her inherited wealth. Her lawyer and adviser Alisa Ortega notices Avery’s demeanor and assures her that she’ll soon get used to her wealth. Because Avery donated a lot of money to charitable organizations, Alisa calls her a saint. Avery protests, insisting she’s only taking control of her life. When she arrives in Prague, Jameson texts her, inviting her to play Hide and Seek.
